Pitt Hosts Global Collections

|

Students
and scholars enjoy a window into global economics and politics, thanks to an
archive on the creation of the European Union (EU) and several special
collections.

Pitt’s Hillman Library houses such special collections
as the Eduardo Lozano Latin American Library Collection, a regional, national,
and international resource center that serves as the sole Latin-American
resource in Western Pennsylvania; and the East Asian Gateway Service, which
provides research supplies for China scholars in the United States as well as
an extensive partnership among 16 academic or research libraries in mainland
China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

Based
on the strength of the University’s European Studies Center and European Union
Center of Excellence, Pitt was selected to host the EU Delegation Collection,
which includes more than 16 million pages of publications and documents
produced by the European Economic Community, European Community, and EU from
the early 1950s through 2004. Pitt’s University Library System is putting the
entire collection online.
